So happy

My honey just bought me a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now we have to Jeeps and I am so happy. It is an early Christmas present from him and the kids. I don’t know how they were able to keep it a secret, because they went with him the other day to buy it. It was delivered today, just a little while ago with a great big bow on the top. The kids had just got home from school and he had just come home from work when it arrived. I was in shock. I never thought in a million years that he would get me such an expensive present.

It is a used Jeep, but it is new to me and I absolutely love it. Now we sort of have matching vehicles. His is a different model though. I can’t wait to go show it off to my friends and my mom. She is going to flip. He must have been saving for this for a long while and I had absolutely no clue. He has worked a lot of over time this past year though, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to me.

I cannot wait until tomorrow. I have a lot of errands to run and I will be able to drive my new Jeep. I have to go to the DMV and make it legal first thing in the morning, then I will be all set to go. I hope that they are not very busy. I have to be home by lunch time. The kids have a half a day tomorrow and will be home much earlier then normal. After that, it will be a mad house for two weeks. By the end of the Winter break, I will probably be stark raving mad. Hehehe.

This is pretty

Rainbow Rose

I think I will make this my desktop picture for a while. It is amazingly beautiful. I have seen a few roses in real life that look like this. The florist was able to use food coloring in the water to get them to turn such pretty colors. I might have to try it on my roses and see how it goes for me.

Personalized napkins

I had to re order the personalized napkins, because there was something wrong with the printing. I am not sure what happened, or if we got the wrong ones. It is no big deal, because we made a change to the order when we re ordered it. Now we just have to wait for the new ones to come in. I am sure that it was a simple mistake, but it is fixed now. I will put them in the storage with every thing else when they arrive. I wonder if I should check on the wedding favor bags as well, just to be sure? Nah, I think it will be fine.

Wedding centerpieces

Well the Wedding centerpieces have finally arrived. There is so much stuff that we decided to rent a small storage unit for all of it. The storage place is right around the corner from my house and I can take the stuff there whenever I have to run out. That is part of the reason we decided to do all of the planning from my house. That and my house is bigger than her apartment. The only concern she had was the kids getting into some of it, but I assured her that wouldn’t happen, plus we have to storage unit. That made her feel much better about it. I love her dearly, and I am so happy to be able to help her plan her wedding.

Wedding favors

I think that we have finally narrowed down some of the Wedding favors. It has been a long road already with the planning. We had a few set backs, but are trying to catch up again. Since I am not doing much else today, I will work on re organizing the planning folders. That will not take very long though. I think I should spend some time doing something special with the kids. I am not sure what to do as it is raining off and on. It is very warm out side, but the rain is going to keep us indoors. That really is too bad.

Sunday

Well today doesn’t seem to be like our traditional Sunday. Usually, we have a big Sunday breakfast to start our day off, but no one wanted a big breakfast today. The kids just wanted pop tarts and cereal, but should not have surprised me. We just bought new cereal an pop tarts yesterday. They always have to try the new stuff as soon as they possibly can.

I think it is going to a lazy Sunday. I don’t really feel like doing much. I was going to do laundry, but I am not sure I really need to yet. I just don’t like for it to build up though. Oh well. I’m off now. Later Gators!

Dad’s toy

My father has gotten too old to ride four wheeler’s anymore, so he bought himself something that he can still play in. He bought a Yamaha Rhino for him an mom. Now he is looking for yamaha rhino accessories to customize his new toy. The weather is supposed to clear up and warm up as well. As soon as it does, we will take out the four wheeler’s and his Rhino to go riding through the preserve. It is part of a state park that allows you to ride on trails that are specifically made for them. We have gone there many times before.

Occasionally we like to camp there too, but it really is not that far from the house. I think we are going to plan a trip as soon as spring hits, to the Smokey Mountains. That way we can camp out in the mountains and ride all over them. There are a great many places to ride. Including the Shenandoah trail. Dad wants to go right away and just rent a cabin. He says we can ride all day, then relax in front of a fire. I am not too sure about that, but I will think about it. If we do, I think I might wait until it snows. That would be really fun.

Wedding favor boxes

Wedding favor boxes versus bags. That is the question right now. We have been unable to decide on what ones she wants. We have looked and looked, but unfortunately nothing has really popped out at us saying “this is it!”. So we keep looking and hopefully we will find something she likes soon.

In the mean time, we have picked out a lot of the other stuff. We just cannot order some of it until the boxes versus bags is solved. We have to make sure that everything will fit first. It’s not like it is much really, but we have to be sure.

Loving the purple

Purple grotto
The colors of nature

I love how nature can make the most beautiful scenery. This purple water fall and trees around it are just amazing. The wonder of nature never ceases to amaze me. I hope that you guys enjoy the pictures I post for you. I do try to find really good ones.

Unity Candle Ceremony

This Unity Candle Ceremony is going to be so pretty. I love the symbolism of it. There is so much more to do in planning. I am so busy with everything, I don’t know whether I am coming or going. Life always get so hectic at this time of year too. I have to look up the venue and get the address. I need to go check a few things out over there, so I know what I will be doing decoration wise. That way I can have a plan in my head, ahead of time. I may even draw out the floor plan and such to make it easier. I shall have to see.
